Amanda Batula reveals what she’s looking for in a boyfriend
Amanda spoke with Marie Claire earlier this month, where she revealed that she is looking for a potential boyfriend. “I am manifesting a boyfriend, but just a boyfriend,” she told the publication. “No one who’s looking for anything serious.”
She continued, touching on the traits that she would like in her future match. “I want to have fun with someone my age or younger, since I’ve always dated older,” she noted. “For now, while I heal, I just want to flirt and and makeout. To be taken on dates, and just enjoy being hot and happy. I’ll find a husband later down the road — or maybe not.”

Amanda Batula sheds light on her separation timeline from Kyle Cooke
She also opened up about the timeline of her separation from Kyle in her interview with the publication. “I moved out in November. We separated but agreed to not see other people,” she said. “The plan was to date each other, work on our relationship, and take some space. But, the space made us realize, well, maybe we want more space; that the separation should be permanent.”
The couple had decided to separate after coming to the conclusion that they needed to put out a statement about their marriage. “We were also on FaceTime when we both posted our statements a few days later,” she concluded. “It was a sad moment, but also a relief, and I’m really happy we did it together.”
